StOP & StArt
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily on standby - STOP mode

lights,
traffic jams, or other...).

The
restart takes place instantly,
quickly
and silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start

HILL StA rt ASSIS t
This system (also called HHC - Hill Holder
Control), linked to the dynamic
stability
control system, makes hill
starts easier and is activated in the
following
conditions:
-
the
vehicle must be stationary,
engine
running, foot on the brake,
-
the
gradient of the road must be
steeper than 5%,
-
uphill,
the gearbox must be in
neutral or in a gear other than
reverse,
-
downhill,
reverse gear must be
engaged.
The Hill Start
a
ssist function is
a
driving aid system. It is not an
automatic
vehicle parking function or
an
automatic parking brake.
Operation
With the brake pedal and clutch pedal pressed, from the time you release the
brake
pedal you have approximately
2 seconds before the vehicle starts to
roll
back and without using the parking
brake
within which to move off.
During
the moving off phase, the
function
is deactivated automatically,
gradually
releasing the braking
pressure.
During this phase, the
characteristic
noise of mechanical
release
of the brakes may be heard,
indicating
the imminent movement of
the
vehicle.
Operating fault
Hill start assist is deactivated in the
following situations:
-
when the clutch pedal is released,
-
when
the parking brake is applied,
-
when the engine is switched of
f,
-
when
the engine stalls.
If
a malfunction of the
system
occurs, this
